What happens when life changes in an instant? Navigating a limb-threatening condition whether due to trauma, tumor, or infection presents a complex maze of medical decisions, emotional hurdles, and physical adaptation. But you don't have to walk this path alone.
Brought to you by The Limb Preservation Foundation, this podcast brings together the voices of those who live it, treat it, and support it. Each episode features raw, inspiring stories from patients and amputees redefining what’s possible, alongside insights from world-class orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and prosthetists.
Getting dressed should be the easiest part of looking great—yet for many in the limb difference and adaptive community, it can be one of the biggest daily struggles.
In this episode of the Limb Strong Podcast, we sit down with Taylor Thoen, Head of Customer Experience at Joe & Bella (https://www.joeandbella.com), to discuss how thoughtful, adaptive clothing is changing lives and restoring confidence.

Designed by top talent from brand powerhouses like Lululemon, Juicy Couture, and Kenneth Cole, they are cracking the code on easy-dressing clothing built for changing abilities.
